Hello,

I have a Macbook and want to use my Outlook.com account on iCal.   I would like to use this as my primary calendar to add all events and invite attendees so that it is in the Outlook.com cloud.   I cannot seem to add it using the Mac preferences.  Please help.

Thank you!

Hey!

Choose Exchange and when it asks Username its your email address. Then it asks Internal Server and External Server so those are both outlook.office365.com. Worked for me.

    Hi HeeroYuy001,

    Thank you for providing the requested details.

    As I reviewed the information you have posted, you mentioned that you tried to use Exchange ActiveSync (EAS) protocol and even used both the following server:

    • imap-mail.outlook.com
    • pop3.live.com

    For now, I suggest that you use this server address: s.outlook.com and let us know if you'll get the same error message.

    To make sure that you are using the correct settings, please visit this article below:

    Apps that support Exchange ActiveSync

    We look forward for your response.

    Thanks,

    Lei

    Thanks Lei, 

    ...but that didn't really work...

    Again, I would suggest Microsoft work with Apple to add Outlook.com as an option to Internet Accounts, under System Preferences. 

    Outllook.com is available as an option on iOS devices. Google, Yahoo and others are listed on there; so no reason why Microsoft/Outlook are not listed with the other big players on OS X. Microsoft has an opportunity to work with Apple to get the option added in before OS X Yosemite is released; it's currently in beta release. 

    Also - if anyone reading this forum is using the Yosemite Beta; I would urge that you submit feedback to Apple asking them to add Outlook.com as an Internet Account Option. 

    Lei - I thank you for your help; but I don't think there's much that can be done. Please just elevate this to the proper dev team, or the right people, that can get the option added to Internet Accounts.
